[ Wei Wuxian is suddenly in his lap and he brings a hand up to rest against the other man's back, to steady him and make sure he doesn't end up leaning too far and falling off of him.
Lan Wangji's also rather delighted to learn that he isn't that interested in the excessive flirting and stripping and whatever else is going on here, his expression perking up at the news. Good, that is very good, he doesn't think Wei Wuxian should be ogling anyone else, and having the same done in return.
It also spurs him on to be a little braver, and when Wei Wuxian says he should sleep with him if the room is bigger (and he's almost certain that it is) Lan Wangji assuredly responds: ]
If Wei Ying insists.
[If he sleeps beside Wei Ying, that means nobody else gets to. Perfect. ]
[ Now that he's in Lan Wangji's lap, he's quite comfortable and less concerned about leaving immediately. Though it's still a bit loud in here, even for him, but the scent of sandalwood in his nose and the warm hand on his back soothe him immensely.
He's going to drop his head against Lan Wangji's shoulder and curl his arm around his neck, holding onto him lightly as he settles. ]
Of course. I'll even go to bed at hai shi for you. Whatever Lan Zhan wants.
[ Though it is... past hai shi right now but he means in general!!! Which also implies that he can sleep in his bed whenever he wants, yep. ]
[ With Wei Wuxian settled against him and a head resting steadily against him, Lan Wangji is content to stay in this way for a little longer, to give himself a moment of indulgence before leading them out. It's too loud, too busy, too late after all.
He lets out a huff of air in amusement at his friend's declaration, leaning in close to his ear, to ensure he is heard. ]
Lying is forbidden. [ When has Wei Ying ever wanted to go to bed early? ] Wei Ying would really be good, and sleep when instructed?
[ The wording is on purpose- "sleep" as opposed to "be in bed". ]
[ Well that is easy enough to guess. There is only one person in this whole realm who would call Lan Wangji a friend, let alone soulmate. His Wei Ying, except nobody else gets to use that name, so: ]
[ A friend, huh? He is glad in his own way, he would much rather Wei Ying be making friends rather than enemies.. especially when both can be equally as likely at times. ]
[ in the privacy of his own room, Getou plays it back several times, the spectral creature sitting at the foot of his bed watching on with no life or opinion to speak of, nose twitching and paws folding themselves together on rote. he struggles with it — getting his teeth around that zi. ]
Sorcerer. Something between a warrior and an exorcist.
[ It isn't the first time tonight he's met someone in a similar line of work. First a self-proclaimed exorcist, and now a sorcerer. Idly, he wonders if there is a connection there somewhere, as to why they've all been brought here. Something to ponder upon meditation tomorrow, perhaps. ]
I practice cultivation. That too, can be something between a warrior and an exorcist. Elimination of ghosts and spirits becomes necessary when resentment begets malevolence. Subjugation is unorthodox.
[ You know...... that's a fair comment, considering one of the groups he used to work for filled him with a few holes and left him to bleed out on the dirty ground before... ]
Most of the time.
[ One of them likes to experiment sometimes in ways that are inconvenient though. ]
[ a resort staff tasked with finding lan wangji eventually locates him wherever he is and hands him a package: it's a tupperware container with an assortment of cookies inside, varying from chocolate chip to oatmeal raisin, to lemon-flavored thumbprint cookies. hopefully he isn't allergic to anything!
included is a letter: ]
Mister Lan Wangji,
Your friend Wei Wuxian told me about your arrival and I wanted to extend a welcome, however belated. Despite the circumstances, I'm glad you have a familiar face that you can rely on. I pray that your stay here will be uneventful, but if there's anything I can do to assist you, please feel free to call on me anytime!
[ They're in the Vale, having visited the library first and gathered a collection of books to take with them to the Vale for just a lazy afternoon spent together. They sit under the shade of a tree and Wei Wuxian lazily stretches out in the grass, his head in Lan Wangji's lap as he twirls his flute in his fingers, a book laying open on his chest half-read.
That's when he breaks the silence, breathing out slowly. ]
A friend of mine turned into stone, perhaps permanently? I guess he's not here anymore. I don't know if he'll turn back.
[ He goes quiet for a moment before frowning, setting the flute down on his stomach with his hand and staring off into the sky. ]
It's the first time someone I liked here disappeared.
[ Lan Wangji turns the page of his current book with a slight frown, soon opting to bookmark and close it before gently placing the text to the side of the head currently nestled in his lap.
He may have.... personal issues.. with some of the people Wei Wuxian spends his time with, or to be precise what they spend their time doing, but as a whole he acknowledges that his friend has made several other friends for himself here, people he gets along with and enjoys their company, and it is unfortunate if one of them has disappeared. ]
I inquired, recently. It is still unknown what happens to those who are made stone.
[...Not helpful, he knows this, but it is what it is. ]

Date: 2025-04-09 04:24 pm (UTC)A face-to-face discussion would be more fitting. When you say neighbours, do you mean it in the literal sense?
want to segue this into action from here or have them arrange a later meeting? 👀
Date: 2025-04-09 11:13 pm (UTC)A funny coincidence, don't you think?
they can meet sure!
